It took me a while to get this up (computer saying "No! Okay, now you can"), and five hours to complete. I'm completely satisfied with how it came out, considering time.

And honestly, this is an ironic song. It's really depressing, but has a tune that you just can't help but dance to. I couldn't help myself and integrated that into the video. I hope you people enjoy it. ^.^

Anime used (In order of appearance): Naruto, Cowboy BeBop, Tenchi Muyu, Ouran High School, S.O.S Brigade, Bleach, Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge (The Wallflower), Suskiyo.

Lyrics:

People Who Died - Jim Carroll Band (according to sing365.com, this song was released in 1980 in Catholic Boy, so there's the age gap.)

Teddy sniffing glue, he was 12 years old
Fell from the roof on East two-nine
Kathy was eleven when she pulled the plug
On 26 reds and a bottle of wine
Bobby got leukemia, 14 years old
He looked like 65 when he died
He was a friend of mine
CHORUS:
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends
They just died
G-Berg and Georgie let their gimmicks go rotten
So they died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan
Sly in Vietnam, took a bullet in the head
Bobby OD'd on Drano on the night that he was wed
They were two more friends of mine
Two more friends that died
CHORUS
Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room
Bobby hung himself from his cell in the tombs
Judy jumped in front of a subway train
Eddie got slit in the jugular vein
And, Eddie, I miss you more than all the others
(First time) And I salute you, brother
(Second time) This song is for you my brother
CHORUS
Herbie pushed Tony from the Boys' Club roof
Tony thought that his rage was just some goof
But Herbie sure gave Tony some, some bitchen proof
Herbie said, "Tony, can you fly?"
But Tony couldn't fly, Tony died
CHORUS
Brian got busted on a narco rap
He beat the rap by rattin' on some bikers
He said, "Hey, I know it's dangerous,
But it sure beats Riker's"
But the next day he got off'd
By the very same bikers
CHORUS
Repeat through "Eddie"
